The AMX 10RC is very a medium-weight reconnaissance vehicle armed having a 105mm cannon. The vehicle, supplied by Nexter Systems (formerly Giat), has been in service along with other the French Army (300) now that 1980 and is too in service along with other Morocco (108) and Qatar (12). The AMX 10RC has been deployed in Chad during Operation Manta in 1983/84, during Operation Desert Storm in Iraq in 1991 and and just UN operations in Kosovo.

There seem like two turret configurations towards the AMX 10RC: the TK 105 turret along with other light 105mm gun or the TML 105 turret along with other 105mm NATO easy gun, both manufactured by Nexter Systems. The TK 105 and TML 105 turrets make access to a mantlet sight, that's firmly linked in to the movements of those gun for firing accuracy.

The TML 105 turret has a conveyor for storing and loading ammunition rounds. The Nexter Munitions APFSDS (armour-piercing, fin-stabilised, discarding sabot) 105 F1 round, fired by the TML 105 gun, can destroy single and triple Nato heavy tanks at a distance of 2,200m. The hit probability is stated as higher than it is 90% at 2,000m. The close defence of those AMX 10RC is offered by a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun.
